Hydrothermal synthesis and in situ surface modification of boehmite nanoparticles in supercritical water

Biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles using aqueous leaf extract of Thevetia peruviana Juss and its antimicrobial activities

“…It has been explored by researchers in various fields of science and technology (Kholoud et al 2010). The nature and unique properties observed in metal nanoparticles in the area of electronics, optics, organic catalysis, medical applications, vector control, sensor, etc., have drawn extensive attention to this field of study (Mousavand et al 2007). Metallic nanoparticles can absorb electromagnetic radiation, resulting in surface plasmon polaritons at the metal dielectric interface (Haoyan and Hergen 2009).…”

Synthesis of Nanoparticles via Solvothermal and Hydrothermal Methods

“…Inorganic NPs have potential applications in various fields, including electronics, energy storage, catalysts, hybrid materials, and biomedical applications [185][186][187][188] due to their unique "quantum size effect" [189]. However, the practical application of inorganic NPs is hindered by the severe aggregation resulting from their high surface area [190] and poor dispersion in organic solvents owing to the hydroxyl groups on their surfaces [191].…”

“…Among the various methods that are available for modifying the surface of NPs, the hydrothermal and solvothermal processes are among the most promising techniques to improve the dispersibility and compatibility between inorganic NPs and organic solvents [192][193][194][195]. For instance, ÀNH 2 and -CHO groups can be successfully grafted onto the surface of AlOOH NPs through in situ surface modification via a hydrothermal process [188] that makes the hydrophilic surface of AlOOH NPs hydrophobic, resulting in modified AlOOH NPs that disperse well in solvents [188]. In the presence of caprylic acid and n-butylamine, ZnO/TiO 2 hybrid NPs show reduced agglomeration and enhanced dispersibility [192].…”

Preparation and characterization of optically active and flame-retardant poly(amide–imide)/SiO2nanocomposites havingN-trimellitylimido-l-methionine linkages using ultrasonic irradiation

“…Surface modification provides an effective way to increase NP dispersion and to improve its compatibility with the polymer matrix. [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] Bioactive diacids (DAs) have been used as capping agents for surface modification of SiO 2 NPs in our recent research. The results clearly illustrated that the modifiers were successfully grafted on the nano SiO 2 surfaces through interactions of bidentate chelating mode and ester linkage and created steric hindrance between inorganic NPs reduced the agglomeration of SiO 2 NPs.…”
